Mayor discusses cleanup process and how to seek FEMA assistance [Video]

DID OVERTOP, THERE WAS NO BREACH. THE CLEANUP DOES CONTINUE IN ROSWELL, AND OFFICIALS HAVE ADVICE TO HELP IN THE RECOVERY PROCESS. OUR REPORTER, COREY HOWARD EXPLAINS. NOW, AS MANY OF YOU ALREADY KNOW, THE HISTORIC FLOODS IN ROSWELL HAVE CAUSED AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE AND CITY OFFICIALS ARE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW LONG THE RECOVERY PROCESS WILL BE. AND HOW MUCH MONEY IT WILL COST. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE FOR YOU GUYS TO REBUILD? THAT WOULD BE ANYONE TRYING TO GUESS AT THAT WOULD JUST BE MAKING STUFF UP. THE RECENT FLOODS HAVE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE CITYS INFRASTRUCTURE AND SEVERAL BUILDINGS. ON MONDAY, GOVERNOR MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM ISSUED A STATE OF EMERGENCY, WHICH UNLOCKS $1 MILLION IN STATE FUNDING TO HELP WITH RECOVERY EFFORTS. SINCE WE HAVE SO MUCH DAMAGE, I MEAN, EVEN $1 MILLION IS IS JUST A START. BUT ANY ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE STATE AND FROM FEDERAL ENTITIES THAT WE CAN GET AS FAR AS FUNDING FOR THE CLEANUP AND REPAIRS IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO HELP. WE DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY IN THE CITY BUDGET FOR SUCH AN EVENT AS THIS. AND LIKE THE CITY, MANY RESIDENTS STILL NEED HELP. FEMA WILL START HAVING PEOPLE GO DOOR TO DOOR IN THE AREAS TO GIVE PEOPLE THEIR RIGHTS AND EVERYTHING. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL INSURANCE COMPANIES FIRST. KEEP ALL YOUR DATA THAT YOU HAVE TOGETHER ON ALL YOUR PROPERTY DAMAGE. NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE MAYOR SAID THAT HES MOST IMPRESSED WITH IS HOW PEOPLE ARE HELPING ONE ANOTHER, SOMETHING THAT IS NEEDED AS THE CITY WILL BEGIN ITS LONG RECOVERY PROCESS. REPORTING IN ROSWELL, COREY HOWARD KOAT ACTION SEVEN NEWS. THE MAYOR ALSO SAYS TO TAKE PHOTOS, KEEP PROOF OF DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY,

SENATE CANDIDATE DAVID COSTELLO GREW UP IN BANGOR – BEFORE ENTERING A LIFE OF POLITICS 10;30;45;10 – 10;31;19;14 I EVENTUALLY GOT A JOB IN AUGUSTA WORKING FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE, THEN WENT AND WENT TO WORK OVERSEAS FOR THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WORKING IN PLACES LIKE CAMBODIA, HAITI, BOSNIA, KOSOVO. A FATHER TO FOUR KIDS – HE NOW LIVES WITH HIS WIFE IN BRUNSWICK…AND AS A DEMOCRAT – HE WANTS BIG CHANGE IN DC. 10;33;53;20 – 10;34;29;00 I’M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONG TERM HEALTH OF OUR ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT AND THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
